Wasted
My Digital Enemy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you can't swim.
You can climb a mountain
But the air thins.
Too many abuses,
Lies.
Give me the perfect excuse
Wasted.
Wasted but you can't even see
Still obsessing about your dream
And the way you look to even notice me
I've wasted all these hours with you
Always out for something to prove
All you got are words but its action I need
Wasted but you can't even see
Still obsessing about your dream
And the way you look to even notice me
I've wasted all these hours with you
Always out for something to prove
All you got are words but its action I need
Wasted but you can't even see
Still obsessing about your dream
And the way you look to even notice me
I've wasted all these hours with you
Always out for something to prove
All you got are words but its action I need
Wasted but you can't even see
Still obsessing about your dream
And the way you look to even notice me
I've wasted all these hours with you
Always out for something to prove
All you got are words but its action I need
The lyrics of "Wasted" by My Digital Enemy Feat. Mooli depict a one-sided relationship where one person is devoted to their dreams and ambitions, leaving the other person feeling neglected and unfulfilled. The opening lines "You can walk on water, but you can't swim. You can climb a mountain, but the air thins" suggests the person in question is capable of achieving seemingly impossible feats, but they lack the basic skills required to nurture and maintain a relationship. The chorus "Wasted but you can't even see, Still obsessing about your dream, And the way you look to even notice me" highlights the feeling of being unimportant and insignificant in the eyes of their partner who is blinded by their dreams.
The second half of the chorus "I've wasted all these hours with you, Always out for something to prove, All you got are words but its action I need" reveals the singer's frustration with their partner's lack of follow-through and action. They feel that their partner only talks about their ambitions but does not take any steps to achieve them, leaving them feeling neglected and unimportant. The phrase "give me the perfect excuse to be wasted" in the opening verse suggests the singer is looking for an escape from this toxic relationship.
This song speaks to anyone who has ever felt neglected in a relationship or has been in a one-sided relationship. It highlights the importance of balance in any relationship and how ambition should not come at the cost of love and companionship. Overall, the lyrics of "Wasted" are a poignant reminder that love and relationships require effort and action, and that words alone cannot sustain them.
